Tankless boats or vessels means a fleet suitable for towing, with sufficient propulsion power to tow a transport platform that is made according to size and carrying capacity.
By attaching a pre-equipped transport platform to the vessel, an oil-collecting oil-spill response unit is obtained which is agile, operates ergonomically and has a high collection capacity.
The combination is particularly suitable for seeking out oil and collecting it by shuttling around in rivers, archipelago areas and in shallow waters.
The sacks carried along with the transport platform which is equipped with a sacking device enable smooth collection and therefore the oil is effectively recovered.
Utilisation of tugs
The advantage of tugs is their particularly good immediate readiness for deployment.
In particular, tugs used in ports are in continuous operational standby, but they are not commonly used for oil-spill response missions.
OIL HUNTER enables excellent utilisation of efficient and stable tugs for oil spill response.
By combining the OIL HUNTER with a tug, operations can be continued even when conditions become more difficult because, due to the properties of the platform, the transport platform easily follows the tug and works efficiently.
By connecting the pre-equipped OIL HUNTER to the tug by means of only two supports, the oil collection unit is ready for deployment.
All the OIL HUNTER requires of the tug is the fitting of the supports and the use of its power source to operate the transport platform.
